Titus is a fingering weight blend of alpaca, wensleydale, and bluefaced leicester wools, sourced and spun entirely in the UK.\u00a0We\u2019re proud to have been the first US stockist of the stuff,\u00a0back in 2012<\/a> when it came in just one color. Clara Parkes<\/a> described it as having “the drape and softness of a sleeping cat,” which captured our imagination almost as much as the story of the yarn. Titus is an attempt to revive Britain\u2019s diminishing textile industry by relying on UK-sourced wools and UK yarn manufacturers. Considering North Carolina\u2019s own textile history, this story resonated, and it wasn’t long before we had boxes of Titus coming into the shop. Since then, Titus has been warmly embraced by knitters, crocheters, and weavers all over the world, and the palette has expanded considerably.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Each 100 gram skein has 350 yards, enough for a hat, cowl, or pair of mitts. Usually, skeins are $29 each; at 15% off,<\/strong> they’re $24.65 each.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We’ve seen so many beautiful garments and accessories knit in Titus over the years – here are a few ideas:<\/p>\n

“Carpino,”<\/a> by Carol Feller – a mesh-lace pullover using 3 – 5 skeins of Titus<\/p>\n

“Bousta Beanie,”<\/a> by Gudrun Johnston – a colorwork hat using 1 skein each of Titus in 3 colors<\/p>\n
